RACE INFO
Get Ready To Run!
Here’s all the important information you need ahead of running the Jeppe Marathon,
Half Marathon and Fun Runs on 9 February.
NUMBER COLLECTION
Collect your race number and any merchandise
you pre-ordered from the race number collection
venues listed below. Please be sure to bring the
race number confirmation e-mail with you to
Number Collection.
• Friday 7 February, from 10h00 – 18h00
Jeppe Quondam (79 Boeing Rd East,
Bedfordview)
• Saturday 8 February, from 09h00 – 17h00
Saheti School (corner Civin Dr and
Linksfield Dr, Senderwood)
Collecting for Others: Entrants will be able to
collect race numbers for fellow runners provided
they bring a copy of the fellow runner’s race
number confirmation e-mail and ID.
Courier Option Entries: Entrants who selected
and paid for the courier option will not need to
collect their race numbers. You will, however, be
required to collect any merchandise from Number
Collection, or on race day.
Substitutions: These can be facilitated at the
Race Office until 31 January 2020. Thereafter,
a substitution can only be facilitated at Number
Collection. A substitution fee of R50 will apply.
Temporary Licences (21km & 42km only)
Runners who are not registered with a club and
running province must have purchased a temporary
licence, costing R35 (21km) or R100 (42km). A
temporary license means those runners are now
eligible for insurance from ASA for the duration
of the race only. This means it is vital to complete
the tear-off strip on the number and this must be
deposited into the collection boxes at the end of the
race, before you leave the finish tent. Runners failing
to complete the slip or deposit it in the collection
box will not be covered by the insurance.
E-mail [email protected] or
call 011 017 2700 for any registration queries.

CGA CHAMPS
The 2020 Central Gauteng Athletics Marathon
Champs will be held at the Jeppe Marathon, and
these Champs are mandatory for athletes wishing to
be considered for selection to the CGA team for the
SA Marathon Champs later in the year. Gold, silver
and bronze medals will be awarded in the Senior, 40+,
50+, 60+ age categories for men and women.
PARKING NOTES
Free parking will be available on race day in five
designated parking areas, which are clearly marked
on the venue map on page 14. You must arrive early
to avoid delays. The parking areas open at 04h00,
and please listen to the instructions from parking
marshals, Off Road Rescue and the EMPD, who will
be on hand to help with traffic management and make
your parking experience smooth and incident-free. If
a parking area is full, you will be directed to the next
available parking area. The parking marshals and car
guards are paid for the day, so tips are not required.
Please note that all parking is at own risk.
THE START
• The 21km and 42km line up from 05h00
underneath the start banner in Civin Drive, and
the gun will go off at 06h00 sharp for both races.
Remember that the 21km runners will complete
one lap of the course, while 42km runners will
complete two laps.
• The 4km and 8km fun runners must line up
behind the traffic lights outside the main gate of
the school in Civin Drive, and their event starts
at 06h30.
WATER POINTS
There are seven water points along the 21km route, all
fully stocked with water, Coca-Cola and ice. There are
also portaloos at each point. These water points then
double up for the 42km runners on their second lap.
Meanwhile, there are two water points on the 8km Fun
Run, and one on the 4km Fun Run.
Stash Your Trash! Please make sure you throw
your left-over cups or water sachets into the bins
provided at the water points.
